Pacers discuss record-breaking win over Wizards

On Thursday night, the Indiana Pacers achieved a dominant 162-109 victory over the Washington Wizards, setting a new franchise record for points in an NBA game.
The Pacers, currently fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 43-30 record, were looking to rebound from a recent buzzer-beating loss against the Los Angeles Lakers after a tip-in by LeBron James.
The Pacers' offensive explosion included a franchise-record 27 3-pointers, 59 field goals, 48 assists, a 64% shooting percentage from the field, and nine players scoring in double figures, led by Tyrese Haliburton's 29 points.
Coach Rick Carlisle emphasized the team's unselfishness, stating, "But there was a spirit of unselfishness which is really what Indiana's about," while Haliburton added, "I had a couple go in early that felt awful leaving my hands," indicating the team's confidence and rhythm.
The Wizards allowing 162 points marked their worst defensive performance and most lopsided defeat in franchise history, and the Pacers' total was the highest in a non-overtime NBA game since March 16, 2008, as they now prepare to face Oklahoma City.
